Age of Pioneer 1130

Taking my saw in for service, along with a Poulon 361, and was asked how old my saw is. Any idea of when the 1130 was manufactured?

Any tips or advise on maintenance for this saw would also be appreciated as the chainsaw ownership thing is real new to me.

Thanks, Brian

P28 problem

I have a P28 which will start, run, and cut for 5 minutes or so until it gets hot then it quits and won't restart. I've replaced the spark plug and believe it's getting fuel. It seems like the spark is getting weak after the coil it heats up. Does this sound familar to anyone and / or do you have any suggestions?

Sounds like it could be the coil. Can you check for spark as soon as it quits? Also, it could be the fuel tank vent. They were problematic because of a small rubber check valve stopper that disintegrated over time. The best way to check that is to install clear fuel line and watch the fuel flow when it's dying.

Has the carb been rebuilt? It might be time for that as well. Does yours have electronic ignition? It not, it could be the condenser, but not too likely.

That's about all I can think of right now.

Holds those big old heavy powerheads in a lot of positions and allows me to work with both hands while tearing into them. LOL

Yes I made it starting with a ball joint from a 1985 Monte Carlo and cut the pieces from 5/16 " steel plate. The ball is about 1 and 5/8" and cut 1 and 3/8" holes in the top and bottom holders on the drill press with bimetal holesaw. The rear is held with two 5/16 bolts and nuts and the front is a 1/2" coarse bolt with a nut on top and a handle from an old hydraulic valve welded to the head of the bolt to accomplish turning and clamping pressure. I bored holes to allow for mounting all the saws in my collection which include most saws produced since the late 40`s. There is also an extra attachment that can be added to allow the saws to be mounted and turned 180 degs. in all directions. I can post a couple of picts of the build .

Only hope it helps someone else if they want to make one, gives some ideas that can be modified to suit individual needs.

[P10]

Just bought a P10 on Ebay for $11. Where may one purchase some touch up spray paint? Anyone have a manual? I think it has a Tillotson HU carb. The air cleaner cover hold down screw is missing. Which is it, a hex head bolt, phillips screw, wing bolt or something else? It needs a new fuel hose from the tank to the carb.

Do I get an award for having the smallest saw?
